Conor Tracey unwanted at the Sharks, I’d sign him. Very talented guy
100% would be a great pick up. Might sign cheaper too for a season to use us to make him better abd worth moreConor Tracey unwanted at the Sharks, I’d sign him. Very talented guy
I think we can insure him a spotId like to have Tracey here in the squad but If I am tracey I am going somewhere I'd be for sure in the top 13 if I am going to leave the sharks. If we are full strength he isnt in our top 17, may as well stay where he is.

I’m intrigued to see what happens once Tago is fit. He obviously goes back into centre, but once all the SOO players are back I think that Cleary might make a change on the bench.
He would not have been happy with how Salmon was pulled apart by the Rabbits when Turuva went off, so I imagine that Peachey keeps a spot on the bench. He can cover centres, five-eighth, lock, back row (maybe) and hooker (at a real pinch). The only question then is do you keep Salmon or Luke. While you already have Peachey’s versatility, having Salmon (who has been doing well as an edge back-rower) might be the way to go, particularly with Luke playing so few minutes in the top grade.
Obviously leaves you susceptible to a Kenny head knock early and needing to run a Peachey/Salmon/Luai((?) dummy half combo for much of the game, but I think this is the way we should go.
Best is the perfect example of an athlete not a footballer. A big no from me and we don't even need a centre.Would we really be unable to afford Best? We presumably offered Leniu and Critta money that we haven't spent elsewhere. Depends on how we go with Luai/Edwards obv but we presumably can afford someone half decent and centre is as big a gap in next year's squad as any.
He's a young guy with a mountain of potential in a position we need urgently, who's seen as having significant flaws that we'd be better placed to iron out than anyone else. To me he's as good a candidate for a mid range signing as any. Whether he'd be better value than Tracey or a couple of forwards is a different question.
I’m on the Connor Tracey bandwagon as well. Very very good player. Just imagine him in our back line. Or can he play hooker? What do you think @Chins get the winsConor Tracey unwanted at the Sharks, I’d sign him. Very talented guy
